Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can be highly effective for relieving deficiency symptoms when prescribed by a knowledgeable practitioner. BHRT involves using customized preparations of hormones that are molecularly identical to those the human body produces. This allows precise dosing to restore optimal levels for the individual patient.
Bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure that is exactly the same as hormones naturally occurring in the human body. They are generally derived from plant sources and are not synthetic. Common bioidentical hormones used include:
BHRT hormones can be administered via:
The route of administration is customized based on the patient’s needs and preferences. Our practitioners will advise on the best delivery method.
Bioidentical hormones offer advantages over traditional synthetic hormone replacement:
Hormone levels will be checked periodically via blood tests to ensure optimal balance is maintained long-term. Dosages are adjusted based on testing results and symptom evaluation. Most patients notice improvements very quickly after starting therapy.
Allowing hormone deficiencies to persist untreated over longer time periods can lead to undesirable effects throughout the body. Some potential risks include:
Additionally, relationships and overall quality of life often suffer. Restoring balance promptly through bioidentical hormone optimization can help circumvent these negatives and reinstate wellness. Do not put off treatment if you are experiencing deficiency signs. Relief is available!

We will conduct an extensive consultation to identify your signs, symptoms, health history and goals. Any prior hormone testing results should be provided. This information allows us to make an informed assessment about optimal therapies.
If you do not have current hormone testing, we will use high accuracy methods like LC-MS/MS blood analysis or saliva panels. These provide data on levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, cortisol and thyroid.
Our practitioners analyze your symptoms together with the test results to determine any hormonal deficiencies or imbalances. We then develop a customized prescription plan including bioidentical hormones and dosages formulated specifically for your situation and needs.
The type of hormone preparation and route of administration are selected based on your health profile. We also provide guidance on complementary lifestyle measures to support wellness during therapy. Follow-up visits and testing ensure optimal therapeutic response is achieved and maintained long-term.
Certain lifestyle measures can enhance the effectiveness of bioidentical hormone therapy:
Eating a balanced, nutritious diet helps ensure you get the building blocks needed for hormone production and response. Key aspects are:
Incorporating regular exercise and quality sleep also facilitates optimal hormonal balance:
Chronic stress taxes the hormonal system. Actively addressing pressures through outlets like meditation, therapy, journaling or socializing enables the body to function at its best.
Integrating nutritious whole foods, active lifestyle habits, adequate sleep and stress resilience techniques works synergistically with bioidentical therapies for ideal outcomes.
We suggest focusing on foundational health strategies that best support your personal needs and preferences for maximum sustainable benefit. Our practitioners can provide input on useful options.
